Whose Job?

This is the story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody thought that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done!

Not come across that one before but I think it's brilliant, it happens in my house all the time!

It's probably quite well known but as it was new to me I thought it would be nice to add it here.. I found it on a tea towel at National Eczema Society's Gift Pages

Two of my children have in the past suffered from several years of severe eczema and at one time I did some voluntary work with this charity. It's a very devastating condition and a worthy cause to support for their efforts in finding not only a cure but relief from the dreadful symptoms.
